Again, Galahad saw no harm in answering.
"Yes, I am." He replied, as if to suggest otherwise was an affront.

"Well then, do the Scriptures not tell that Christ cooperated with his captors? Perhaps I have it wrong, but I am not the best of scholars. But if that is so, should you not do the same?"

"No." Galahad frowned. "I could not possibly cooperate with a King who abducts princesses."

The king of Cantium sucked in a breath and clutched his fists.
"And how can you possibly know about that?"

"God knows all." Galahad told him confidently.

Vortimer laughed.
"Ah, I understand now. So you are Christ reborn. Well then,m you are proud, for the Son of God. Perhaps I should test that out by having you crucified, then watching to see if you come back to life."

Galahad examined him for a moment. "Do what you will. I will have the last laugh from heaven while you burn in hell."

Vortimer was laughing again.
"You are bold, Sir Galahad. I like that. But I assure you, I will not be going to hell. I see your intentions now. Leodegrance sent you to rescue those two girls. Perhaps it will set your mind at rest to know that they have all the comforts they desire."

"You will have to forgive me if I don't believe you, given you would only allow me comforts if I gave you what you wanted." Galahad frowned.

Vortimer grinned wolfishly.
"You are not a princess. Knights are generally hardier than young ladies, and better able to handle rigorous treatment. You are a trespasser and have been treated better than you deserve. Have you not been given water and had your wounds bound to stop you from bleeding you to death? I may kill you yet, but then again, I may not. That is entirely dependent upon your conduct."

"I did not drink your water, and woke to find myself treated." Galahad replied. "How am I to know that you are indeed responsible for that?"

"This is my own castle. Everything that happens here is done with my permission and frequentlly at my particular order. I did not wish you to die before I had spoken to you."

"I'm touched." Galahad replied sarcastically.

Vortimer eyed Galahad for a long moment.
"Do you believe the old legend that a king will come to unite all of Britain against the invaders?"

"I'm assuming you wrongly believe that you are that king?" Galahad said, fully aware that a king like Vortimer could not possibly be the one of legend.
